Beautiful climb that was affected by heavy rain in 2020, which made part of the road surface and the bridge at the beginning of the climb inaccessible. Fortunately, this has now been fully restored and we can enjoy this beautiful climb again. Nicest part is in the first part of the climb, dark brown rocks, railway bridge overlooking a dark tunnel and the steep newly built path between some houses in a forest.

Beautiful climb that was affected by heavy rain in 2020, which made part of the road surface and the bridge at the beginning of the climb inaccessible. Fortunately, this has now been fully restored and we can enjoy this beautiful climb again. Nicest part is in the first part of the climb, dark brown rocks, railway bridge overlooking a dark tunnel and the steep newly built path between some houses in a forest. Once past this section, the road flattens out a bit but in very poor condition until it reaches the hamlet of Gelivau. Turn right and this is the last very steep section of the climb with a nice hairpin turn around a farm. Highly recommended!

Prachtige klim die in 2020 getroffen werd door de hevige regenval, waardoor een deel van het wegdek en de brug aan het begin van de klim niet toegankelijk werd. Gelukkig is dit nu helemaal hersteld en kunnen we weer genieten van deze prachtige beklimming. Leukste deel bevindt zich in het eerste deel van de klim, donkerbruine rotsen, spoorweg brug met zicht op een donkere tunnel en het steile nieuw aangelegde pad tussen enkele huizen in een bos. Eenmaal deze sectie voorbij wordt de weg wat vlakker maar in zeer slechte staat tot in het gehucht Gelivau. Rechts afslaan en dit is het laatste erg steile deel van de klim met een leuke haarspeldbocht rond een boerderij. Een aanrader!

Nice climb. Be careful when navigating using Strava: the little bridge indicated on the map with a dotted line is fine to cycle, but Strava does not know it.

Mooie klim. Opletten met navigatie via Strava: het bruggetje zoals op de kaart aangegeven met een stippellijn is prima te fietsen, maar Strava kent deze niet.

This is one of the most beautiful climbs in this region and that means something! It is a rather unknown climb, but worthwhile to come to the Vesdre valley for. The start is a bit hidden, but starts after the little bridge over the Vesdre. The first part turns over the railway along a rock face. If you like equal slopes, turn around immediately because this climb is very irregular. Don't be fooled by the average of "but" 6,4％. It goes from flatter to very steep. If you think you've made it to the top, there is a final climb after the hamlet of Gelivau(x). There is a wall with 10-15％. At the top you meet the also not easy Côte de Hansez.

Dit is een van de mooiste beklimmingen in deze regio en dat wil wat zeggen! Het is een vrij onbekende klim, maar zeker de moeite waard om voor naar het Vesdredal te komen. De start is wat verstopt, maar begint na het bruggetje over de Vesdre. Het eerste deel draait over het spoor heen langs een rotswand. Houd je van gelijke hellingen, draai dan gelijk om want deze klim is zeer onregelmatig. Laat je niet foppen door het gemiddelde van "maar" 6,4％. Het gaat steeds van vlakker naar zeer steil. Als je denkt dat je boven bent is er nog de uitsmijter na het gehucht Gelivau(x). Daar wacht nog een muurtje met 10-15％. Bovenop kom je samen met de ook niet eenvoudige Côte de Hansez.
